I got a Yeti recently because I really liked the chug cap design, and for the 18 oz size the price isn't ridiculous. I don't give a shit about branding but I do like that it feels solidly built (I'm so sick of buying no-name amazon garbage that falls apart after a week).
I’ll definitely back the durability of the bottles. I accidentally ran over my rambler 26 in my works truck (a ford F550 bucket truck) and all it did was leave 2 scratches. I knocked my hydro flask over on the deck of the same truck and it had 2 dents
I haven't tested it like that because of the cost, but I'm going to assume if it can handle getting run over by your F550, it could handle my little Frontier, haha.
Funny about yeti being the working man’s brand. I grew up in a rural area and every job site was full of green Stanley thermos’s. Yeti was for yuppies and urban glampers. Guess times have changed
Heyo, industry insider here. Yeti durability is the real deal as stated in this video, and as stated in the video the thermal performance is not special compared to other brands but it solid enough for anyone going about an 8 hour workday. The durability is a huge pro to me for 80% of my use case (daily work at a shop where I do not carry it often and can suffer the occasional fall) but it falls short when it comes to carry comfort. My vote for hiking walking, multi modal commuting is hands down the Hydroflask trail series. It oddly enough holds heat and cold slightly BETTER than my regular hydroflask, and the weight reduction feels REALLY good but the durability is much higher than other super light double walled bottles I’ve had. Do not mistake what I am saying as this being a bottle you can drop.. I have, it made it out without a dent but I had that rubber cap on the bottom which I DO NOT like so usually never have it on. What it CAN survive is being jostled in a bag all day that has other gear in it, being knocked over and rolling away on something like concrete (so not a drop but definitely an impact that might affect weaker bottles). The other advantage, crucially is FITTING in things like cup holders, sling bags, etc because its sizes up to 24oz are tall and narrow. I can’t say I have had the same luck with their twist coffee lid as the reviewer here, and I know multiple people who have poor experiences. The stock lid helps with thermal performance as it has a very thick insulation section and therefore it’s what I use. The yeti original lid was also a thick insulation but now they have the replacements, and so things like their Chug cap and magnet cap simply do not perform as well as the OG, and the hotshot is close but no handle. I think the insulation on the stock lid is worth the trade off from convenience of any kind of twist lid, and certainly the only lid style I would put in my laptop bag.
Might need you as a guest reviewer, haha. All very good points. Agreed about the trail series being very underrated. Curious what your issues with hydro Flask's coffee lid are. I've had really good luck with that lid and think it's way better than yetis hotshot imo.
I bought a 24 oz. stainless steel, double walled water bottle at Walmart for nine dollars and change. I put ice in it, fill with chilled Gatorade, and go golf for 4.5 hours in over 90 degree temps. I can refill it after 9 holes and it will still have ice at the end of 18 holes. What's not to like?
For me, I have both YETI hot shot and Hydro flask flex sip and the Hydro is much more complex and harder to clean because of that rubber gasket that has to be removed and then replaced right side up. Both are easy to mistakenly put back in your bag - still open causing a mess. I painted a small yellow mark on mine as a visual reminder. If the yellow marks are not lined up, you know you haven't closed it yet.
That's fair, that gasket can be easy to turn around on accident. But I still like that Hydro Flask's has a handle, and it's also easier to open because you can grab it from the outside. YETIs Hotshot has that rim around the top that causes you to cram your fingers in to twist it, so you can't get as easy of leverage. It's not a huge difference for many people, but it's a quality-of-life thing for me and anyone with limited finger strength or gripping issues could have more issues with the Hotshot, both for opening it to take a sip but especially for unlocking it for cleaning. So even though it takes more steps, I personally find Hydro's design easier. That's why it's good to have options though...different people prefer different things! I also like that the red gasket you mentioned with Hydro Flask's lid is visible through the mouth opening when the lid is closed but not when it's opened so you can visibly see if it's opened or not.
Easy to clean is a big deal for me. I got a Klean Kanteen classic. Just a single silicone gasket and a steel lid. Will basically last forever, doesn’t hold smells and easy to clean.
Its cool to see how everyone has different needs. personally I love the classic chug cap over more standard 2 party lids like the one you showed. It all really depends on the person and their needs.Personally I believe its worth it because: 1)after keeping a drink in more a long period of time it doesn't change the taste to a more metallic one like other bottles 2) the durability, I like my waters bottles to stay neat, I don't love too many signs of wear and tear, so even though the insulation is normal compared to cheaper alternatives, yeti is a one time buy. Thanks for your insight!
I try to avoid plastic so I bought the Klean Kanteen TKPro Insulated Thermos. It was awful. It screeched loudly, like scratching on a chalkboard, where unscrewing the cap to pour water and unless you unscrew the cap all the way off, water leaks down the side of the bottle. It's a great idea that needs re-engineered.
I created a chug top insert that is 3d printable (press fit) - looks like a grid and is used to prevent ice from striking you in the teeth when drinking.
I have yeti tumbler and rambler, also stanley classis thermos, master series, and the popular stanley with handle. And few other brands, i always grabbing my yeti instead.
i buy yeti water bottles because they feel practical. they’re ridiculously easy to clean and they never leak or break on me. plus i love the chug cap and would never use a straw over the convenience of the chug cap. plus i love drinking cold water and my yeti can keep water ice cold, even in 95 degree weather with the hot sun beating down on it for 6 hours.
All good points. I would just say that a lot of the positives you mentioned also apply to some other brands that don't cost as much. But YETIs are definitely solid options and will last forever if you keep up with them. Their durability is un-matched.
Yeti is known more for their insulation for cold than hot. Which makes sense since they started as a cooler company. Thinking multiple day fishing trip with out tripping on ice
Agreed. I mainly do the hot water tests because they're easier and more consistent, and they still give a good idea of how well a bottle insulates compared to other ones since insulation works similarly both for hot and cold drinks. But having said that, I am planning to do a big ice test with all the bottles. Curious to do a real-world check on cold vs hot tests with different bottles.
One question I have with the drop tests is are these bottles full of water when dropped, or are they empty? I had a frank green that survived tons of drops on hard surfaces when it was half full or near empty, but when I dropped it from a relatively short height when it was close to full the lid broke like nothing. Cheers
I haven't done too many drop tests other than that long video I did earlier this year to test dents and insulation. Can't afford to tear up too many bottles intentionally. But dropping a full bottle definitely has a greater chance of breaking/denting something compared to dropping an empty one. There's just a lot more weight and downward momentum that translates into worse dents or broken lids. Is your Frank Green one of those ceramic-coated ones? Did you ever notice the ceramic crack after drops?
I get Ozark trail from Walmart they're just as good if not better in the price point definitely is better I just got a water bottle that normally retails there for about $16 and I got it for half price in the clearance aisle and they had plenty of other colors back in sporting goods
I greatly prefer the hot shot lid to the flex sip. Notably easier to clean, less prone to user error in reassembly, never had a leak that wasn't user error with the hot shot, and a better drinking experience. With that said, I'm in total agreement regarding their lids generally. They could be doing so much more, and they got rid of superior insulating one piece lids I believe. I think they did weird sizes to accommodate the thicker build, so a typical 32oz size is a 26oz bottle in actual yeti capacity. I use the hot shot lid to hold back ice when I use a yeti bottle nowadays, but I did find their wider opener easier on the schnoz before I got the hot shot. For most use cases, it is overkill in terms of weight and durability, and I'd say you get diminishing returns on insulation for the weight. But damn if you need something super durable or insulated, not much competes. I don't think the pricing is so bad if you factor in sale prices, but then again you can find other brands on sale or at rack stores even more frequently. My go to is a decade plus old 18oz standard mount hydroflask with the old style lid.
@ZenTeT, whatever you gotta tell yourself, bro... I left mine on a bench a few weeks ago, and when I got back from walking with my dog, it was gone. Ppl are horrible. Ppl like you.
Some good brands that have lids with stainless steel underneath are Klean Kanteen and Healthy Human, but it's not all lids and can be tricky to navigate. Here's a link to a video I made earlier this year specifically about this topic that goes through the versions I'm aware of. th-cam.com/video/VVCLeiluuA8/w-d-xo.html
Sometimes hype is real. Meaning they have a reason for their popularity. Durability for a bottle should be at least in your top 3 when looking for one unless you want a disposable one. My one and only Yeti I have is the 26 oz rambler and it is awesome. I pour cold water in it in the morning and it’s stay cool all day long even when the outside of it is hot to the touch. I question some of their more expensive coolers though when they have much steeper competition like the Orca brand I saw at Dicks Sporting Goods last week.
Yea there's no beating yeti's durability. My opinion is that a lot of their other features are overrated or comparable to other less expensive brands, but their durability is the real deal.
I bought yetis And Hydro flask. I went back to yeti because Hydro flask or easy to Dent. Once you drop them a few times they did Waze so easy yetis are built, tougher and harder to Dent, Keeps your drinks and ice and if you want to put hot drinks, they stay hot for hours. Are used to buy them off-line Amazon but now I find them for like five to $10 at thrift stores in Excellent condition. I don’t buy them if they’re all dented up. Yeti it’s just more durable, so I went back to yeti
The only yeti i own is the one designed for tea/coffee. Hot drinks specifically, I think its called the Hotshot Rambler. I like how you can take a sip anywhere from the top cap and its just pours out in sips. Only yeti i think is worth buying IMO but as for water bottles? Im fine with refilling a Gatorade bottle 😅 i like room temp water
@@bottlepro3252 imo I'm glad it doesn't have a handle cause it makes it a more to universal fit to all kinds of cup holders. From my personal vehicle to all kinds of forklifts and machines I operate.
@@royalsaint117 Fair enough. I dislike those popular Stanley tumblers with the large rigid handles on the side for the same reason. They make already bulky bottles even more bulky. Haven't had that issue with Hydro Flask's Flex Sip since the handle is on top, but for a slimmer design that's less likely to catch or snag on something, I could see how the Hotshot could be good. Thank for mentioning it!
@@bottlepro3252 now I will say they should've at least designed the hotshot to have some kind of nub on the side of the bottle cause if you drop that thing off a slope or hill it's definitely gonna roll away fast haha. That's the one benefit I see of having a side handle on a tumbler.
One thing not mentioned about the Yeti Rambler is that it's Dishwasher safe. For me, this was the deciding factor. I want ease of cleaning and the sanitization offered by the Dishwasher.
True, and a lot of bottles nowadays are dishwasher safe. Hydro Flask updated their design a few years ago, and that was one of the big improvements. In general I still prefer handwashing to prevent scratches or other small cosmetic damage, but that's just me. Dishwashing certainly does make it easier.
My 18oz rambler fell like 4 feet onto concrete once and left an annoying dent at the bottom. It of course works like it's supposed to but it wobbles a bit when sitting up🫤
The warranty the cap fails send email get new cap… also it can be put in a fire and survive… great camping bottle. Also I have had my original yeti for 6-7 years maybe longer before colors were even a thing. I have a second one and I drop it all the time and barely 1-2 dents
Durability is my priority, than sustainability and price is less important. Even though there are cheaper options, 30-40 euros for a bottle or cup does not break the bank.
So I like the functionality of the yeti lid. Much easier to use. I do every now and then drop or bang my bottles and rarely takes on damage. My cheaper bottles even for daily use take on damage much faster. I use my yeti daily at the office and out in the field. However when operating the tractor, I'll use my cheap bottle. If the tracker rolls over a yeti or the cheap bottle, it's done regardless. I'll be less annoyed destroying the cheap bottle over the yeti. My yeti rolled off my car once and hit the concrete parking lot. Small bent no big deal. Gives it some character. You can clearly tell mine gets used. Lol.
I've watched somebody's 64oz yeti bottle fall into an asphalt paver and come out in the mat behind paver to dig out 😂😂 it was dented but somehow still held water!!! He was way more concerned about the years of stickers on it understandly, but the sliver bottle with stickers was now black scratched bottle flatten the a 32oz width haha
You completely ignored the superb Yeti sip-style lid with the sliding magnet that is on half of the products you showed at the beginning. That Hydroflask lid you were gushing over seems ALOT more complicated and annoying to clean...
The video focused on the bottles with vertical sides and wide mouth threaded lids, not the press-fit magslider lids that are found in tumblers. Mentioned that after showing the lineup, and I just did the bottles because I'm trying to keep my videos from rambling past 20 minutes anymore. And the hydro flask lid has more steps and parts, but I've used both and I personally find it easier. I don't like how yetis sip lid has the raised rim all the way around the top that makes it harder to get the proper leverage to pop it open. Not a huge deal obviously, but I've used both and that's my opinion. That and having a handle is a big upgrade. But some people like the hotshot more and that's fine. Good to have options.
@@bottlepro3252 Fair enough i guess. Those magslider ones are superb in most situations though, especially while driving, and I find it easier to open than any other stainless steel drinking container that I've used. Easiest to clean as well. But the lack of handle is a very valid point and kind of baffling considering the rugged design philosophy of Yeti.
@@PocketsandOutlaw Yea, I honestly want to try their products with magslider lids more for insulation tests to see how they compare with the threaded bottles. But we always got more questions about the threaded lids because they have so many differences so I bought those first hoping they could be better for videos. Hopefully one day this channel will make enough money to buy more of the yeti products try them all out, but yeti, hydro flask, and other high priced brands like them don't make that an easy goal $$$
I wish I could remember the guy's name, but this dude did a led content test with all the popular brand tumblers or whatever and yeti was found to have NONE while a majority of the rest had some in them.
I'd be interested to see that. I've done some basic lead testing and didn't find any differences (ones where the lead test is part of a bigger test kit strip). Other sources I've seen have showed that the lead in bottles is only used in the solder to seal the vacuum, and it wouldn't contact the inside of the bottle where you water touches. So my first thought from hearing that YETI was the only good one in the video you saw is that it was either due to faulty test strips or poor testing, but I'd be very interested to know if I'm wrong about that. Please send me the link if you can find it!
@@bottlepro3252 Yeti wasn't the only one, but it was one of them that I recognized. The other brands I haven't heard of before, but it was on tiktok that I found the video. I'll do my best when I have the time to find the video for you if you are curious.
Yeti got better lids and colors but all doubled walled bottles practically do the same I have Ozark trail and RTIC and they do the same for half price or less
Received a YETI 26oz Rambler as a gift and it has been gathering dust. At 3.4" width, it doesn't fit into the standard 3" backpack bottle holders and cup holders. So it isn't useful at all to me.
NO... I have an f-ton of WalMart Cheapie Ozark Trail Cups and other knock-off gear and they continue to provide excellent value year over year ... at a fraction of the price
Answer is easy because buy trendy things because they are sheep trying to keep up the appearance they have a clue. Are they worth it depends if you want the best at what it is supposed to do then no there are better for less but not trendy.
I’m certainly not going to spend a lot of $$$ just to be a lemming, following a popular trend. My personal preference in water bottles is the brand “The Coolest.” I have over a dozen of them in different sizes/colors & found they maintain cold water temps even inside my car in Florida for at least 24hrs, up to over 48hrs. Yeti is more of a supposed status symbol than something special. I was gifted a Yeti bottle a few yrs ago & found it sub-standard. I donated it to the local Goodwill store. My The Coolest bottles have lasted me years (some 8+) and still do the job 100%
Yes, The Coldest. I purchased my 1st one near when they first started in their tiny warehouse in Naples, FL. One of the owners used to personally respond to my emails. I have them in several colors in 21, 32 & 64 Oz sizes. They’ve never let me down as far as keeping the water cold sometimes up to over 48 hrs.

I wish the Hotshot had a handle though. Would make it a lot better.
@@bottlepro3252 imo I'm glad it doesn't have a handle cause it makes it a more to universal fit to all kinds of cup holders. From my personal vehicle to all kinds of forklifts and machines I operate.
@@royalsaint117 Fair enough. I dislike those popular Stanley tumblers with the large rigid handles on the side for the same reason. They make already bulky bottles even more bulky. Haven't had that issue with Hydro Flask's Flex Sip since the handle is on top, but for a slimmer design that's less likely to catch or snag on something, I could see how the Hotshot could be good. Thank for mentioning it!
@@bottlepro3252 now I will say they should've at least designed the hotshot to have some kind of nub on the side of the bottle cause if you drop that thing off a slope or hill it's definitely gonna roll away fast haha. That's the one benefit I see of having a side handle on a tumbler.
Sure what ever, as long as i like it and it makes me feel good and it works. Also Stanley doesn’t have the style of rambler i like,
One thing not mentioned about the Yeti Rambler is that it's Dishwasher safe. For me, this was the deciding factor. I want ease of cleaning and the sanitization offered by the Dishwasher.
True, and a lot of bottles nowadays are dishwasher safe. Hydro Flask updated their design a few years ago, and that was one of the big improvements. In general I still prefer handwashing to prevent scratches or other small cosmetic damage, but that's just me. Dishwashing certainly does make it easier.
i love yeti bottles i have multi ones and i have other brands too yet i use yeti the most
My 18oz rambler fell like 4 feet onto concrete once and left an annoying dent at the bottom. It of course works like it's supposed to but it wobbles a bit when sitting up🫤
Are you going to review the Ello water bottle
Yea, in 2025. They're on my radar now after doing some analysis videos about the most popular bottles.
Know of any metal straws that fit the bottle straw cap?? All seem tooooo tall for it
The warranty the cap fails send email get new cap… also it can be put in a fire and survive… great camping bottle. Also I have had my original yeti for 6-7 years maybe longer before colors were even a thing. I have a second one and I drop it all the time and barely 1-2 dents
thanks
They made high priced mountain bikes in the 80’s. Excellent bikes.
Durability is my priority, than sustainability and price is less important. Even though there are cheaper options, 30-40 euros for a bottle or cup does not break the bank.
So I like the functionality of the yeti lid. Much easier to use. I do every now and then drop or bang my bottles and rarely takes on damage. My cheaper bottles even for daily use take on damage much faster. I use my yeti daily at the office and out in the field. However when operating the tractor, I'll use my cheap bottle. If the tracker rolls over a yeti or the cheap bottle, it's done regardless. I'll be less annoyed destroying the cheap bottle over the yeti. My yeti rolled off my car once and hit the concrete parking lot. Small bent no big deal. Gives it some character. You can clearly tell mine gets used. Lol.
Fair points! Dents definitely build character, haha.

I've watched somebody's 64oz yeti bottle fall into an asphalt paver and come out in the mat behind paver to dig out 😂😂 it was dented but somehow still held water!!! He was way more concerned about the years of stickers on it understandly, but the sliver bottle with stickers was now black scratched bottle flatten the a 32oz width haha
That's just the new black powder coating, haha
Did it still hold cold or hot drinks ?
You completely ignored the superb Yeti sip-style lid with the sliding magnet that is on half of the products you showed at the beginning.
That Hydroflask lid you were gushing over seems ALOT more complicated and annoying to clean...
The video focused on the bottles with vertical sides and wide mouth threaded lids, not the press-fit magslider lids that are found in tumblers. Mentioned that after showing the lineup, and I just did the bottles because I'm trying to keep my videos from rambling past 20 minutes anymore.
And the hydro flask lid has more steps and parts, but I've used both and I personally find it easier. I don't like how yetis sip lid has the raised rim all the way around the top that makes it harder to get the proper leverage to pop it open. Not a huge deal obviously, but I've used both and that's my opinion. That and having a handle is a big upgrade. But some people like the hotshot more and that's fine. Good to have options.
@@bottlepro3252 Fair enough i guess. Those magslider ones are superb in most situations though, especially while driving, and I find it easier to open than any other stainless steel drinking container that I've used. Easiest to clean as well.
But the lack of handle is a very valid point and kind of baffling considering the rugged design philosophy of Yeti.
@@PocketsandOutlaw Yea, I honestly want to try their products with magslider lids more for insulation tests to see how they compare with the threaded bottles. But we always got more questions about the threaded lids because they have so many differences so I bought those first hoping they could be better for videos. Hopefully one day this channel will make enough money to buy more of the yeti products try them all out, but yeti, hydro flask, and other high priced brands like them don't make that an easy goal $$$
I wish I could remember the guy's name, but this dude did a led content test with all the popular brand tumblers or whatever and yeti was found to have NONE while a majority of the rest had some in them.
I'd be interested to see that. I've done some basic lead testing and didn't find any differences (ones where the lead test is part of a bigger test kit strip). Other sources I've seen have showed that the lead in bottles is only used in the solder to seal the vacuum, and it wouldn't contact the inside of the bottle where you water touches. So my first thought from hearing that YETI was the only good one in the video you saw is that it was either due to faulty test strips or poor testing, but I'd be very interested to know if I'm wrong about that. Please send me the link if you can find it!
@@bottlepro3252 Yeti wasn't the only one, but it was one of them that I recognized. The other brands I haven't heard of before, but it was on tiktok that I found the video. I'll do my best when I have the time to find the video for you if you are curious.
Yeti got better lids and colors but all doubled walled bottles practically do the same I have Ozark trail and RTIC and they do the same for half price or less
Received a YETI 26oz Rambler as a gift and it has been gathering dust. At 3.4" width, it doesn't fit into the standard 3" backpack bottle holders and cup holders. So it isn't useful at all to me.
Why do a video that appears to me to just criticize YETI?..… it’s because they are the leader in the industry! Haha.
NO... I have an f-ton of WalMart Cheapie Ozark Trail Cups and other knock-off gear and they continue to provide excellent value year over year ... at a fraction of the price

i dropped my half gallon yeti filled with ice and water on concrete there was barely a dent
Yea, for durability, YETI makes the best insulated bottles I'm aware of.
I dropped mine and dented it instantly I hope it’s no big deal lol the dent is rite at the lower seem
My Stanley and Bubba cup are just as good and a whole lot cheaper!
Answer is easy because buy trendy things because they are sheep trying to keep up the appearance they have a clue. Are they worth it depends if you want the best at what it is supposed to do then no there are better for less but not trendy.
you missed the dog bowel
Ewww😅
I’m certainly not going to spend a lot of $$$ just to be a lemming, following a popular trend. My personal preference in water bottles is the brand “The Coolest.” I have over a dozen of them in different sizes/colors & found they maintain cold water temps even inside my car in Florida for at least 24hrs, up to over 48hrs. Yeti is more of a supposed status symbol than something special. I was gifted a Yeti bottle a few yrs ago & found it sub-standard. I donated it to the local Goodwill store. My The Coolest bottles have lasted me years (some 8+) and still do the job 100%
Do you mean the coldest? That's one brand that's high on my list to get next. Curious to do an insulation test and see if it lives up to the name.
Yes, The Coldest. I purchased my 1st one near when they first started in their tiny warehouse in Naples, FL. One of the owners used to personally respond to my emails. I have them in several colors in 21, 32 & 64 Oz sizes. They’ve never let me down as far as keeping the water cold sometimes up to over 48 hrs.
My $30 40oz Iron Flask has outlasted my wife’s $65 40oz Yeti and I use mine twice as much as she does.
Owala is the best
Nobody cares about a handle
Completely overrated - poor quality and terrible customer service
